So I've been thinking of the Wii-U recently, as some of you may already know and I am wondering if it's a console that adult gamers can appreciate.

Sure, it's got plenty of fun games for all ages. Just showed my neighbors Need For Speed Most Wanted U, they loved it. They enjoyed that more than Mario and Rayman.

I am an adult and I appreciate it.

Hardcore gamers find themselves crying over how difficult New Super Luigi U is. The Wonderful 101, Castlestorm, Cloudberry Kingdom, Adventure Time, and Earthbound come to mind.

I think crying is a bit of an overstatement

So me and my family got a Wii U for Christmas. And according to the Daily Log, I spent more time on that system than anybody else in the house. And I'm an adult, so......yeah. I'd say an adult can enjoy it.

Well the PS4 is nice, but I think I want something different... So I am thinking of the Wii-U.

It really just depends on how much you care about Nintendos first party games. If you don't care much about them then I'd definitely go for the X1 or PS4

It has third-party titles too, you know. The Wonderful 101, Sonic: Lost World, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Scribblenauts.........

It has a decent amount of third-party titles, but I can't list the whole thing here.

Which the majority of are the weaker versions of the game, lots of which don't even get the DLC. It's only exclusive third party games are decent at best, with the exception of maybe 101, depending on who you ask.

I would likely do a ten games test to see if the Wii-U is worth buying.

Yeaaah. I think we all have different definitions of adult.

Wii/Wii-U games are pretty universally recognized as being at least a little watered down.

And before you said they play in HD, I'm gonna say that there's way more to visuals and gameplay than HD.
